You will never find the same person twice, not even in the same person.

Please continue being the soft, loving person that you are. 🤍

Being true and loyal and vulnerable to those you love will never be a detriment to a relationship that suits your needs. You might get hurt and you might be sad, but your love is not a burden — the right people will know this inherently. 🤍

Any love I made you feel is yours to keep. 🤍

But if you pay attention, you’ll come to realize that love really is everywhere around you. You are never truly alone because the Universe is holding you gently in the palm of its hand. 🤍

Healthy love exists, and it is worth being patient for. 🤍

I don't know how to reach the miracle but something inside me does. 🔭

Love is never wasted. It cannot be a mistake to have loved, and it cannot be a mistake to have cared. 🤍

A soft life, and an even softer love. 🤍
